Today is day 237. I was reading the stuff over in January 15 and it hit me...I'm quit. I'm truly free from this pain in the ass, slowly killing me addiction. I'm so happy to be quit. About a year after I started chewing I was at Boy Scout camp and didn't take any dip. I figured a week without dip wasn't that big a deal. I remember having cold sweats, stomach pains and all kinds of bad shit. After that, I was petrified of not having dip around because I didn't want to experience that level of pain/discomfort/miserablenes ever again. When I quit it wasn't that bad....I dealt with craves, headaches, irritability, foggy feelings and other weird reactions, but I made it!!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading through your story on here rtpope.

Congratulations on your future son, and congratulations on making it this far in your quit.

Tomorrow marks an important milestone for you. Although an important day, it is not the last. Your quit will continue many more days beyond it.

Truly inspiring, and I am proud to be quit with you every day.
